Chapter 688: She Has Only Daddy Jia as Her Father

Old Mrs. Jia stood firm, straightened her back, and directly shielded her daughter-in-law behind her.

"Don’t worry, your mom is no pushover. I won’t let these bastards bully you."

Mrs. Zhang cried out in pain, and seeing it was just a little old lady opposite her, she instantly protested.

"Where did this shrew come from? My waist, my leg, my hip bone... I need to go to the hospital, and you have to pay for it."

Old Mrs. Jia rolled up her sleeves, "Pay you, my foot! Do you think I don’t know what you people are up to? Blocking my daughter-in-law in broad daylight? I should say that you frightened my daughter-in-law and my unborn precious grandchild."

Zhang Wenbin squinted slightly at the old lady opposite, realizing who she likely was.

He straightened his back, "Old lady, this is between Juanzi and me. No matter what, I’m still Ningning’s father, and Juanzi was my wife for many years. I just have a few things to say to her. You didn’t have to hit me."

"Peh! When my Juanzi married you, she must have been blind. The Zhang Family was burning high incense on their ancestral grave back then. What’s wrong, now that the smoke’s gone, you regret it? Go ahead and regret then. Don’t even mention Juanzi, even Ningning has nothing to do with you anymore. The Zhang Family doesn’t deserve a wife or granddaughter. If you dare to harass us again, I’ll report you for harassment to the police. Take a good look at yourself... I spit on you!"

Zhang Wenbin’s face flushed with embarrassment and anger.

"It’s not up to you to decide if there’s a relationship. No matter what, Ningning has my blood running through her veins; she’s my daughter too," he looked at Qin Juan again, "Juanzi, just because of you, I won’t argue with this old lady today. Since you’re back in An City, bring Ningning to me sometime. I have things to tell you. I think Ningning hasn’t seen her dad in a long time, she must be missing her dad."

Thankfully, they still have a child between them.

When he sees Ningning tomorrow, he’ll buy her some nice treats. Surely, Ningning will still fondly remember him as her dad.

As long as Ningning remembers him, Qin Juan won’t have an easy time cutting ties with him.

"Keep dreaming," invoked Ningning, Qin Juan snapped, "Zhang Wenbin, have you forgotten what you’ve done? How can you even mention Ningning? Weren’t you the one who tried to snatch her at the school gate? Ningning has never wanted you. If you want her to see you, forget about it."

Qin Juan finished speaking and pulled Old Mrs. Jia, "Mom, let’s go home."

"You can’t leave."

"Don’t let them get away..."

Both voices spoke simultaneously.

Before the words finished, how could Zhang Wenbin allow Qin Juan to leave?

Without getting the medical compensation, Mrs. Zhang absolutely couldn’t let those two women run off.

Zhang Wenbin grabbed the rear frame of a bicycle, glaring angrily at Old Mrs. Jia and Qin Juan.

Old Mrs. Jia protectively shielded them behind her, glaring back fiercely without backing down.

Just then, a commotion erupted in the distance.

"Make way, make way..."

"Juanzi, we’re here..."

Qin Juan recognized the voices of her sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law.

Little Ningning ran ahead, "Mom, I called auntie. Auntie and they will help us beat up the bad guys."

Little Ningning pointed directly at Zhang Wenbin, "Auntie, they are bullying mommy."

Zhang Guilan and Zhou Hongmei didn’t need Ningning’s explanation. Seeing Zhang Wenbin and Mrs. Zhang made their anger flare up.

Zhang Guilan called out to the strong young men she brought with her, "This guy bullied our aunty. Beat him up, and I’ll take full responsibility."

In their eyes, Zhang Guilan was the boss. Helping the boss, what was there to hesitate about?

The group assaulted Zhang Wenbin with punches and kicks. Even Mrs. Zhang, who was lying on the ground, received several kicks.

Zhang Wenbin had no chance to retaliate. He cried out for help to the onlookers, asking them to call the police while simultaneously covering his head and fleeing.

The bystanders had long figured out the relationships.

Wasn’t it just a family being harsh on the daughter-in-law, then the man regretted the divorce?

He kept pestering his wife in front of the current one and the ex.

Everyone’s got their own ways of being wretched. But this man here was truly contemptible.

And the old lady on the ground, earlier she had accompanied her daughter-in-law to her maternal home to demand money; now she was encouraging her son to harass his ex-daughter-in-law, truly despicable.

Instead of calling the police for them, the kind elderly women around were cheering on the young men assisting in the beating.

Zhang Wenbin, enduring his pain, pleaded with little Ningning in the distance, "Ningning, I’m your dad, don’t let them hit me anymore."

Before Qin Juan could cover Ningning’s eyes, she saw Little Ningning standing straight, her voice cold, "You are not my dad. My dad is Jia Liang."

She only had Daddy Jia as her father.

............

At the end of this farce, Zhang Wenbin could only escape in disgrace, carrying his old mother on his back.

Zhang Guilan watched their backs, spat in disdain, "What trash."

She turned to Qin Juan and Old Mrs. Jia, "Juanzi, don’t be afraid. People like them bully the weak and fear the strong. If you meet them again, call me, and I’ll bring people to help you teach them a lesson."

Qin Juan gratefully thanked her.

The shop still had business to tend to, and it was lunchtime when they had the most customers.

Now that things were settled here, Zhang Guilan took her people and left.

Qin Juan saw Zhang Guilan off, then supported Old Mrs. Jia, concern in her eyes, "Mom, how do you feel? Did you get hurt? Let’s go to the hospital and have it checked."

Old Mrs. Jia took quite a hit earlier, knocking Zhang Wenbin away, showing how much strength she used.

Even though she kept saying there was nothing wrong, Qin Juan worried that she might be putting on a brave face in public.

Old Mrs. Jia suddenly weakened, grimacing as she rubbed her shoulder, "No need for the hospital, it’s nothing major. I really am getting old, more and more useless. Let me tell you, Juanzi, back in the day when I was younger, never mind skinny guys like that, even Jia Liang’s uncle, this old lady could handle them."

Qin Juan gently massaged her shoulder, her voice gentle, "Let’s wrap it with warm water when we get home. I’ll put on a medicated patch for you."

Little Ningning stood by, full of sympathy, "I’ll blow on it for grandma."

Old Mrs. Jia laughed, her face like blooming flowers, feeling no pain at all.

She reached out to touch Ningning’s little head, "Okay, if Ningning blows on it for grandma, it won’t hurt anymore."

Her heart felt sweeter than honey.

Who says you can’t gain genuine affection from a non-biological bond?

The fall Mrs. Zhang took earlier wasn’t a light one, and she was even slammed by her son. From the looks of it, she wouldn’t get off the bed for ten days to half a month.

That was Ningning’s biological grandmother, yet Ningning didn’t even spare her a glance, preferring instead to show concern for her step-grandmother.

So you see, if you position your heart right, you won’t have to suffer retribution one day.
